Ingredients
- 2 cups Masa harina
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Refried beans
- 1 cup Crumbled queso fresco
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the masa harina and salt. Gradually add the warm water, mixing with your hands until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Step 2
Divide the dough into about 12 equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disc approximately 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter.
Step 3
Heat a large, heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook sopes for about 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly golden but not crispy.
Step 4
While still warm, pinch the edges of each sope upwards to create a small border around the edge.
Step 5
In a separate pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the sopes for about 1 minute on each side until they are crisp and golden brown.
Step 6
Drain the cooked sopes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 7
To assemble, spread a tablespoon of refried beans onto each sope base.
Step 8
Top with a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco, shredded lettuce, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious, customizable sopes!
